Bah... It's got a 3rd gen intake manifold. That counts LOL

 

Wow, wow, wow

 

ya i thought it was a fc from the coils in the firewall corner.

thats gonna be a very quick t2. looks good. post some pics of the outside too.

one more question. Any porting?

 

You have to eliminate your Air Pump?

 

snail looks huge

 

This brings a tear to my eye ... if you guys had any idea how much of a struggle my car has been over the years. That car first went off to Michael Gurgainers in June of '97, just before I left for my honeymoon. He turned out to be a bum, so it then went to Ron Foreman. Ron turned out to be slightly less of a bum, but a bum none-the-less. Then it sat on jackstands for a couple years, I got divorced, and it went to DaVinci in Belleville. Since then, Chris Green at Checkpoint (now Autonomic) built my motor - a B-REW with extra dowels by Pettit and a nice sized streetport. Motor was shipped to DaVinci, and now I'm in Ron's capable hands.

Seeing this, literally does bring a tear to my eye. Lots more pictures to come.

 

Had to copy here for some FC lovin

 

Looks like a T04s comp housing, soooo 60-1 or 62-1 or even GT35? Looks like a 1.00 A/R turbine. Definately a REW swap.... And LOTZA negitive camber judging by were your strut pivot is located. KOYO rad. Beautiful..

~Mike...........

 

Fun trying isn't it? Ground Control camber plates, and a Fluidyne radiator

 

oh
my
god.....


i have died and gone to fc heaven

 

Are you guys using a cast manifold?

- Steiner

 

Nope, it's a custom tubular stainless manifold ...

Just wait till you see what we have planned for the bodywork

 

I was going to take more pictures to post tonight, but I think I'll build the suspense a bit more

 

Yo,


OMG, the Purple Beast has got a heart in it!!



Damn dude, you need a bigger turbo. Seriously.

*snicker*

Congrats! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Kevin
1989 GTUs "Autonomic, huh?"

 

that is sad
he he just kidding - looking very nice

 

Damn Ryan...that looks pretty solid. Just like you to withheld pics of your FC this long, eh?

Keep 'em coming.

 

I plan on backing up the claim in my signature ...

It's been a LONG LONG time, but yes, it has a heart now. And short of a 20B, it's about as strong a heart as it could get. That turbo is a custom jobby that DaVinci is calling their AF22. They have one running prototype, that from what they say, spools like a 60-1 HiFi but flows enough for 500+ hp. We shall see! One thing is for sure, we're not cutting any corners. You name it, it's been taken care of.

 

I promise more on Thursday evening ... how's that?

Go ahead, ask me to list everything done to it

 

What kind of blue paint is that IBM?

 

that is simply ******* beutiful!!!

 

Eye candy!

 

did i read it right??? 7 freaking years before it's at current stage?????

 

You read right, June of 1997 is when this all started ...

Feels strange to have people drooling over my car

 

...the return of the Barney-Mobile...

Get it finished... then we'll all have an MO meet *nod*

 

Is that the same car that had the WOLF EMS? I remember reading the horror stories back when you first got the car, man that was a long time ago! Where did you get the motor built at? Are you still running the Yellow Corbeau seats?
